Great for arthropod lovers! September 5, 2008
Occasional Reviewer (United States)
7 out of 7 found this review helpful

We can't get enough of these habitats! They are so convenient! We usually have three on hand, with one always in the minivan. They work so well because they fold down and go in a storage bag when not in use so that they can be stored almost anywhere very easily. They give whatever is in them a nice airy environment, and the white mesh and clear top make for pretty unobstructed viewing. The only drawback is that the mesh, as can be expected, is not the sturdiest of materials and can be ripped. We have taped a couple of small tears back together, but they do eventually become beyond repair. However, for the price and the fun, good use that is gotten from them, they are a great buy.

Ordered these for grandchildren for Christmas, was real pleased with the material and workmanship and the convenience of them being able to clip it on their belt while they are exploring.

Excellent Bug Box May 7, 2008

My son is an avid bug catcher and he has had one of these for two years now. He is hard on his toys, especially bug paraphernalia. It's EXCELLENT construction and is great for storing bugs/bees/butterflies/etc. It's held up really well over the years. It's not the one that comes with caterpillars - this is just the container, but definitely worth it.

Great Butterflies! September 16, 2004

My son got this as a gift and it was a lot of fun watching them grow and change into Butterflies.
Teaches kids about how to be careful with them and to protect them from the elements.

You get a card that you fill out with your name/address etc (no extra fees) and your caterpillars arrive about a week later. Follow the instructions and in weeks you will have butterflies too!

Would recommend to kids 5+.

Great bug house February 27, 2009
Victoria Sutton
Easy to use and store - this bug house is fun to own. I've given it to kids of various ages, and when combined with a butterfly net and possibly a book for identifying what's seen in nature, this is a terrific kit/gift!
